Hi there, newbie here. Well I've read a bunch of those posts explaining what was what and now I know a lot more but not sure if enough. The first post with the photos attached, the photos i really wanted to see wouldn't load up. So I "think" I have a 15-v2 ? 357, blue, 8 inch barrel, adjustable rear sight and just six numbers to the serial number, no letters and from Monson. Pic below, thanks a million for any help. I'm mostly a Ruger/Smith guy but anxious to see this one perform.

You're going to love the way it shoots. Mine tend to favor the hotter loads.

Welcome from Colorado!
Yep, looks to be a 15-2 V8. In my experience, the DW 15s compare very favorably with the S&W 19s. I'm sure it'll provide years of enjoyment.

Nice 15-2. How do you like it by now. I'm also new here and also a new 15-2 Monson, Ma. owner. I picked up a 1981 15-2V6 a couple days ago and can't shoot it until I receive the barrel tool to reset the gap. I'm anxious to shoot it but the barrel and cylinder are making contact and leaving marks on cylinder face so I need to wait. The tool should arrive soon. Good luck with yours!

I've read everything I could find online about the DW revolvers in the last ten days since considering my 15-2 purchase. I knew little about DWs except they were well thought of by many folks. After researching prices, I was surprised they sold relatively cheaply compared to Smiths yet the pistol packs were sky high. It seems a $350-500 model 15-2 is worth more parted out than in one piece. The blue on my model 15-2 appears to have been done after polishing the gun first. My blued GP100 pales in comparison.
